Deploying Your Operating System Using VMCLI 245
CD/DVD Device or Image File
-c {<device-name> | <image-file>}
where <device-name> is a valid CD/DVD drive letter (Windows systems) or
a valid CD/DVD device file name (Linux systems) and <image-file> is the
file name and path of a valid ISO-9660 image file.
This parameter specifies the device or file that will supply the virtual
CD/DVD-ROM media:
For example, an image file is specified as:
-c c:\temp\mydvd.img (Windows systems)
-c /tmp/mydvd.img (Linux systems)
For example, a device is specified as:
-c d:\ (Microsoft Windows systems)
-c /dev/cdrom (Linux systems)
Omit this parameter from the command line if you are not virtualizing
CD/DVD media. If an invalid value is detected, an error message is displayed
and the command terminates.
Specify at least one media type (floppy or CD/DVD drive) with the
command, unless only switch options are provided. Otherwise, an error
message is displayed and the command terminates and generates an error.

error message.
Help Display
-h
This parameter displays a summary of the VMCLI utility parameters. If no
other non-switch options are provided, the command terminates without
error.
